THE HIVE MIND! The Bug Eyes Web "around the clock marketing" vision. Our holistic approach to the success of your business is a process that makes Bug Eyes Web unique to the web design and internet marketing - arena.

In order to visualize all of the components of a successful business in the digital era, we reference a clock.

By using the clock as a model, we can clearly demonstrate ways of assessing your business and all of the integrated components.

Note: Each month we will break down a major component of the Hive Mind marketing model, to a granular level. This helps our clients understand every element of their business, and how the creative services we offer can help them capture leads, get found online, perfect their marketing, and make more sales!

Each hour on the clock represents a major component of your business. Last month in our August Newsletter and supplemental blog post we featured Creative Services. The September Newsletter is focusing on Web  Development, in continuation of our "Around the Clock Marketing" theme.

2:00 Web Development

Criteria we analyze are as follows:

• Has your websites navigation been properly developed? Has it been thought out for SEO?
• Does you website have a call to action/ response button or element? Are you getting, phone calls, leads, or newsletter sign ups?
• Do you have automated tools built in to help your business grow. Examples include CRM intergation for all leads, automated newsletter database integration, A/B testing on Google and or other PPC landing pages.

Web Development offered by the Bug Eyes Web team:

• Properly tiered navigation
• Navigation built for SEO and usability
• CRM integration
• Automatic newsletter sign ups/ opt outs
• A link sharing page
• Clean valid code tested against all major browsers
• Proper use and integration of Flash elements.

Do you know if your sites code is valid? Although wer'e not saying every site has to be perfect, but the cleaner the code the better the performance of the site for your visitors as well as your SEO.

We reccommend you use this tool==>  W3C Code Validator to test the "validity" of your code, VS. modern approved HTML standards.

The better the code, the better the site after all. If you site has "clean" code and "tighter" code, the search engine bots will be able to get through your site faster, and have a better page to index and report back to their servers. This could mean better SEO results pages for your company, product and services.

If you have the website grader, and the code validator and are not happy with the results, you should give us a call.

We are open Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM at: 877-908-8282
